Ranchers in western Nebraska already have been warned to prepare for the worst type of weather for cattle: cold rains followed by heavy, wet snow, plummeting temperatures and rising winds. However, it will be short-lived, as the snow will transition to rain from south to north overnight. The wintry mix, including freezing rain, could add to the road concerns for this morning, along with the strong sustained northerly winds that could reach 25-35 miles per hour, with gusts of 40-50 mph possible. It was expected to fall to 2 below by late Friday afternoon, with wind chills as low as 19 below.

Additional rainfall from Thursday through Saturday could amount to 3 to 5 inches of rain along the Gulf Coast.
